Introducción: La violencia laboral entre el personal de enfermería en hospitales constituye un problema de salud pública, afectando de manera indirecta la calidad del cuidado. Objetivo: Determinar la relación de violencia laboral entre el personal de enfermería y la calidad del cuidado en hospitales públicos. Métodos: Estudio descriptivo correlacional y transversal, realizado en dos hospitales públicos de México durante agosto y septiembre de 2017. La muestra fue de 161 enfermeros y 117 pacientes. Se utilizaron el Barómetro Cisneros y el Caring Assessment Instrument para medir las variables de interés; se obtuvieron medias, desviación estándar y frecuencias para datos descriptivos, el coeficiente de correlación de Spearman y coeficientes de Contingencia y Chi cuadrada para determinar la relación. Resultados: Predominó el sexo femenino (85,70 por ciento), con una media de edad de 35,67 años, 45,90 por ciento), trabajaban en el turno nocturno, 79,40 por ciento), de los participantes refirió no haber experimentado violencia laboral, la evaluación inequitativa fue la estrategia de violencia laboral más frecuente. Respecto a los pacientes, más de la mitad reportó calidad en el cuidado. El Coeficiente de Correlación de Spearman no mostró significancia estadística (p > 0,05). Conclusión: El personal de enfermería no se encuentra familiarizado con la conceptualización de violencia laboral, por lo que es probable que la mayoría la haya experimentado y por temor a represalias, no la reportara(AU)

Introduction: Workplace violence among nursing personnel in hospitals constitutes a public health problem, indirectly affecting the quality of care. Objective: To determine the relationship of workplace violence among nursing staff and the quality of care in public hospitals. Methods: á Descriptive, correlational and cross-sectional study was carried out in two public hospitals in Mexico from August to September 2017. The sample consisted of 161 nurses and 117 patients. We used Cisneros Barometer and the Caring Assessment Instrument to measure the variables of interest; means, standard deviation and frequencies were obtained for descriptive data, Spearman's correlation coefficient and Contingency coefficients and Chi squared to determine the relationship. Results: Female predominated (85.70 percent)), with a mean age of 35.67 years, 45.90 percent worked the night shift, 79.40 percent),),of the participants referred not having experienced workplace violence, inequitable evaluation was the most frequent workplace violence strategy. Regarding patients, more than 50 percent), reported quality of care. The Spearman Correlation Coefficient did not show statistical significance (p> 0.05). Conclusion: Nursing staff are not familiar with the conceptualization of workplace violence, so it is likely that the majority have experienced it, but did not report it, for fear of reprisals(AU)

Apoyo en redes sociales y factores de riesgo de sobrepeso y obesidad en adolescentes / Social network support and risk factors for obesity and overweight in adolescents

Objetivo: Determinar la relación entre el apoyo social en redes sociales y factores de riesgo de sobrepeso u obesidad, tomando en cuenta estilos de vida saludable y barreras percibidas en adolescentes. Método: Estudio descriptivo y correlacional de corte transversal con adolescentes de una preparatoria pública de Nuevo León, México. Se realizaron mediciones antropométricas para obtener el índice de masa corporal, conductuales para barreras percibidas en alimentación saludable y actividad física, además de estilos de vida saludables. Resultados: Participaron 188 adolescentes, predominó el sexo masculino con 55,9%. La edad media fue de 16,1 años. El 52,1% tuvo sobrepeso, menos de la mitad de los adolescentes reportó contar con sus amigos en redes sociales (37,8%). El 52% de los participantes con exceso de peso necesita cambios en su alimentación y la mayoría reportó actividad física baja (82,7%). Se observa una correlación entre apoyo social en redes sociales y barreras percibidas de actividad física en adolescentes con exceso de peso (r2 0,144; p < 0,05). Conclusiones: La mayoría de los adolescentes no llevan una dieta adecuada ni realizan actividad física recomendada, una de las principales causas es la falta de motivación como barrera percibida. Las redes sociales constituyen una herramienta para que el personal de enfermería coadyuve en la promoción de la salud y lleve a cabo intervenciones dirigidas a prevenir la enfermedad en un contexto global en transición hacia lo digital.(AU)

Aim: To determine the relationship between social support in social networks and risk factors of overweight and obesity including healthy lifestyles and perceived barriers in adolescents. Method: Descriptive and cross-sectional study with adolescents from a public high school in Nuevo León, Mexico.

Cuidado al personal de enfermería desde la perspectiva del supervisor en el contexto hospitalario

RESUMEN Objetivo: Describir el cuidado al personal de enfermería desde la perspectiva del supervisor en el contexto hospitalario. Material y Método: Estudio exploratorio con aproximación cualitativa en el que se empleó el diseño sistemático de la Teoría Fundamentada; la población se conformó por supervisores de enfermería en dos hospitales públicos de segundo nivel en la ciudad de Chihuahua, México; la recolección de datos se llevó a cabo durante agosto y septiembre de 2017 a través de un muestreo teórico, respetando los aspectos éticos de investigación. Resultados: Con diez participantes, hasta llegar a la saturación de datos, predominó el sexo femenino (7), en su mayoría casados (6) y con estudios de posgrado (6). Surgieron tres categorías: 1) Cuidado desde la perspectiva del supervisor de enfermería; 2) Interacción entre el supervisor de enfermería y sus compañeros de trabajo y 3) Desarrollo profesional como parte del cuidado al supervisor de enfermería. Conclusiones: La mayoría conceptualiza el cuidado como una actividad dirigida a otros pero no a sí mismos. La comunicación efectiva y estilo de liderazgo desempeñan una función importante para la interacción del supervisor de enfermería con el personal de enfermería operativo y sus directivos, pero estos atributos no se perciben de manera adecuada por ellos mismos.

ABSTRACT Objective: To describe nursing staff care from the supervisor's perspective in the hospital setting. Material and Methods: Exploratory study with a qualitative approach using the systematic design of the Grounded Theory. The population consisted of nursing supervisors in two secondary care public hospitals in the city of Chihuahua, Mexico; data collection was carried out during August and September 2017 through theoretical sampling, respecting ethical aspects of research. Results: With ten participants until reaching data saturation, female sex predominated (7), mostly married (6) and with postgraduate studies (6). Three categories emerged from this study: 1) Care from the nursing supervisor's perspective; 2) Interaction between the nursing supervisor and their coworkers and 3) Professional development as part of the nursing supervisor care. Conclusions: Most supervisors conceptualize care as an activity aimed at others, but not at themselves. Effective communication and leadership style play an important role in the interaction between nurse supervisors with operational nursing staff and their managers, but these attributes are not properly perceived by themselves.

RESUMO Objetivo: Descrever os cuidados do pessoal de enfermagem da perspectiva do supervisor no contexto hospitalar. Material e Método: Estudo exploratório com abordagem qualitativa usando o desenho sistemático da teoria fundamentada ou Grounded Theory. A população consistiu de gerentes de enfermagem em dois hospitais públicos de cuidados secundários na cidade de Chihuahua, México; a coleta de dados foi realizada nos meses de agosto e setembro de 2017 por amostragem teórica, respeitando os aspectos éticos da pesquisa. Resultados: com dez participantes até atingir a saturação de dados, predominando o sexo feminino (7), a maioria casada (6) e com estudos de pós-graduação (6). Três categorias emergiram deste estudo: 1) percepção do gerente de enfermagem sobre o cuidado; 2) interação entre o gerente de enfermagem e colegas de trabalho e 3) desenvolvimento profissional como parte do atendimento do gerente de enfermagem. Conclusões: A maioria dos enfermeiros gerentes conceitua o cuidado como uma atividade voltada para os outros, mas não para si mesmos. O estilo eficaz de comunicação e liderança desempenha um papel importante na interação do gerente de enfermagem com a equipe de enfermagem e seu diretor executivo, mas esses atributos não são percebidos adequadamente por eles mesmos.

Habilidades de la inteligencia emocional en relación con el consumo de drogas ilícitas en adultos: una revisión sistemática / Emotional intelligence skills in relation to illicit drug use in adults: a systematic review / Habilidades da inteligência emocional em relação ao consumo de drogas ilícitas em adultos: uma revisão sistemática

Introducción: La evaluación de la inteligencia emocional (IE) es centro de interés para profesionales de diversos campos de la salud y la educación. Objetivo: Identificar el estado del arte de las habilidades de la IE y las posibles relaciones con el consumo de drogas en adultos. Metodología: Se utilizó como guía la Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Se formuló la pregunta de investigación para dar respuesta al objetivo, se definieron los criterios de selección y, posteriormente, se buscaron artículos para el periodo 2007-2018 en las bases de datos PubMed, Scopus, EBSCO, Web of Science y OVID. Mediante el programa EndNote, se evaluaron los estudios para el análisis de los datos y sintetizarlos. Resultados: Se identificaron 1172 artículos a través de las bases de datos y se eligieron 15 estudios, de los cuales solo 3 cumplieron con los criterios de elegibilidad y calidad metodológica. Una baja IE da por resultado un consumo más intenso y frecuente de sustancias ilegales; por ende, una mayor dificultad en el manejo y regulación emocional. Conclusiones: La investigación de la IE y las adicciones son relativamente nuevas y se necesitan más estudios para comprender esta relación con mayor detalle.

Introduction: The evaluation of emotional intelligence (EI) is of particular interest for professionals in various fields of health and education. Objective: To identify the state of the art of research on EI skills and the possible relationships with drug use in adults. Methodology: The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyzes (PRISMA) was used as a guide. First, the research question was defined to provide an answer for the objective; then, the selection criteria were established; and, finally, articles for the period 2007-2018 were found through a search in the Pub Med, Scopus, EBSCO, Web of Science, and OVID databases. Studies were then assessed and analyzed using EndNote and subsequently summarized to extract their corresponding theses. Results: A total 1,172 articles were identified across databases, out of which 15 studies were chosen and from these only 3 met the eligibility criteria and methodological quality. The sample shows that a lower EI leads to a more intense and frequent consumption of illegal substances, thus leading to greater difficulties in emotional management and regulation. Conclusions: Research on EI and addictions is relatively new, and more studies are needed to understand this relationship in greater detail.

Gestión y cuidados de Enfermería al paciente con síndrome de Lynch: caso clínico / Management and Nursing care for a patient with Lynch syndrome: A case report

El cáncer colorrectal constituye una de las primeras causas de muerte por neoplasia a nivel mundial. Las principales intervenciones para disminuir la incidencia están dirigidas a promover la prevención y detección precoz. Los resultados de diversas investigaciones muestran que exámenes como el test de sangre oculta en heces y la colonoscopia contribuyen a un diagnóstico precoz. Existen síndromes hereditarios, como el síndrome de Lynch, que se relacionan con la aparición de cáncer colorrectal, por lo que es recomendable la inclusión de métodos de detección precoz como parte del tratamiento. En estos casos se recomienda la realización de pruebas genéticas familiares si los casos de cáncer se diagnostican antes de los 50 años de edad. En este artículo se presenta un plan de cuidados tomando como referencia la taxonomía NANDA (North American Nursing Diagnosis Association), los criterios de resultados NOC (Nursing Outcomes Classification) y las intervenciones NIC (Nursing Interventions Classification), que se desarrolló para un paciente con sospecha de síndrome de Lynch. Las enfermeras deben estar capacitadas para identificar los posibles casos de cáncer asociados a este síndrome y, con ello, disminuir las probabilidades de que los miembros de la familia desarrollen la enfermedad, empleando el consejo genético y la educación sobre los factores de riesgo ambiental

Colorectal cancer is one of the leading causes of death from cancer worldwide. Main interventions to reduce the impact are aimed to enhance prevention and early detection. Results of several studies show that tests such as the fecal occult blood test and colonoscopy are effective for early diagnosis. There are hereditary syndromes such as Lynch Syndrome that can lead to certain types of cancers, including bowel neoplasms, therefore early detection needs to be included as part of the treatment. In these cases, family genetic testing is recommended if the bowel cancer is diagnosed before 50 years old. A care plan including the NANDA (North American Nursing Diagnosis Association), NOC (Nursing Outcomes Classification) and NIC (Nursing Interventions Classification) was developed for a patient with suspected Lynch Syndrome. Nurses should be qualified to identify potential cases of cancer associated with this syndrome, and thus, reduce the likelihood that family members develop the disease, through genetic counseling and education of environmental risk factors
